22.What is the news coverage mainly about?
【答案解析】
選[A]。主旨題。主旨題的答案往往在開頭或結(jié)尾,而本題的答案即出自開頭的第一句。選項(xiàng)中的latest(最新的)對應(yīng)該句中的live up-to-date(最新直播),armed rebellion(武裝叛亂)對應(yīng)unrest(動亂)。另外,對話的主題往往會得到多次重復(fù),因此根據(jù)后面多次出現(xiàn)的rebel forces, conflict, war等與“叛亂”相關(guān)的詞語,也可判斷本題答案為[A]。
四、留意選項(xiàng)中的要點(diǎn)內(nèi)容
正確選項(xiàng)往往與原文相似,或是原文的同義表達(dá),因此應(yīng)注意提取選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn),在聽音時(shí)留意其是否在文中出現(xiàn)并加以記錄。

【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】
[A] Inadequate medical care.
[B] Continuing social unrest.
[C] Lack of food, water and shelter.
[D] Rapid spreading of the epidemic
【邊聽邊記】
W: … what other pressing concerns are there for the citizens of the city?
M: Well, since the beginning of the conflict, starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstacles facing the citizens of this war-torn country.
25. What is the pressing concern of the citizens of Karnack?
【答案解析】
選[C]。細(xì)節(jié)題。四個選項(xiàng)中只有[C]項(xiàng)內(nèi)容在對話中出現(xiàn),其他三項(xiàng)均未涉及到,故只要抓住對話中starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter或其部分內(nèi)容,即可判斷答案為[C]。starvation意為“饑餓”。
五、留意數(shù)字、人名、地名、時(shí)間、年代等相關(guān)信息
遇到數(shù)字、人名、地名、時(shí)間、年代時(shí)要對相關(guān)信息做簡要記錄,尤其是選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)類似的概念時(shí),在聽音時(shí)更應(yīng)重點(diǎn)留意。
【例5】(710分樣卷-24)
【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】
[A] Late in the morning.
[B] Early in the afternoon.
[C] Sometime before dawn.
[D] Shortly after sunrise. 【邊聽邊記】
M: … Rebel forces are closing in, and it’s feared tha they will be able to take the capital building before daybreak where, it is believed, many government officials are holding out.
24. At what time of day do you think this news report is being made?
【答案解析】
選[C]。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)原文中…it’s feared that they will …before daybreak.可知,當(dāng)時(shí)報(bào)道的時(shí)間應(yīng)該是在before daybreak(黎明破曉前)。dawn相當(dāng)于daybreak。
